Final Assessment

 

For the final assessment you are to choose your own case study and describe and critique its Leadership for Sustainability. You should

•             Analyse the nature of leadership in the organisation and consider its relationship with established theory

•             Evaluate the extent to which global environmental pressures impact on the case study and analyse the ways in which the leadership is dealing with those pressures

•             Undertake a critical appraisal of the ways in which tools and theories relating to sustainability are or could be used in your case study

•             Critically evaluate the extent to which your case study are developing strategies for sustainability

For the case study, you can choose ANY organisation, public, private or not?for?profit.

Apply as many of the concepts of leadership and sustainability covered in this module as you can. You should recall in summary the concepts you use, but do not spend long describing them – we are looking for APPLICATION of the concepts to your case study, not descriptions of them.

Remember, we are not looking for an essay on leadership or sustainability, nor for a series of definitions, nor for a summary of the material covered in the module – we are looking to see how well you can use the concepts you have learned about to analyse the operation of your case study organisation

Another reminder to use the Assessment Criteria (below) as a guide to ensure you cover all the critical areas for which marks are available.
